Bureau Chief, Chattogram :
Since the spread of the coronavirus, many people have been coming forward along with the government’s support for the unemployed and helpless people. But it is not that common to arrange free Eid shopping for the marginalized people. Like the previous year, Durbar Tarunya, a social organization for the poor, helpless and destitute people, has taken a different initiative titled “Free Eid Shopping” with the slogan “Eid shopping for all, rich and poor are brothers”.
The program was conducted on Friday April 29 at Halishahar Garibe Newaz High School in Chattogram under the chairmanship of Muhammad Abu Abid, Central President of Durbar Tarunya.
Through the ‘Free Eid Shopping’ initiative of Durbar Tarunya, more than 3000 poor and helpless people will be able to buy any item of Eid clothes free of cost according to their desire, choice, and size.
Muhammad Abu Abid, the founder of Free Eid Shopping and the central president of the organization, said, “Like last year, this year too we have arranged this free shopping for the marginalized people in the society. Many people donate clothes for Zakat. The first thing we want is for low-income people to never suffer from an inferiority complex. Many children will shop from here, for whom shopping was just a dream. We are trying to make dreams come true.” According to the sources, Durbar Tarunya has delivered Eid clothes to more than 1000 middle class people in the dark of night in this project as well as in the last two years.
Helal Akbar Chowdhury Babar, the inventor of Covid Prevention Booth in the country and former Deputy Finance Secretary of Bangladesh Awami Juba League, visited the shops of Free Eid Shopping as the chief guest. The purpose of all those present, he said, is shopping for those whose only dream is ‘Free Eid Shopping’ which is a unique example in the service of humanity.
“I welcome such a great initiative, I consider myself fortunate to be present at such an event.”
Debashish Pal Debu, Muhammad Abul Kalam Azad and Md. Jasim Uddin, a member of the managing committee of Garibe Newaz High School were present as special guests at the event.
